All Claudia could say about Mykonos was "it's so.... so... so pretty! Pretty Mykonos!" I agree. I myself was having quite a relaxing time... until I managed to eat some hummus with pine nuts and Russell had to repeatedly stab me in the leg with my epi pen so I wouldn't swell up and die. In pretty Mykonos. Thank goodness for Russell. You have saved my life again, my dear! Here's some pictures I took after recovering from the pine nut incident.

It's part of the city ordinances that your house must be white and your doors and shutters must be blue. I am making this up, but suspect it is true.

The best way to see Mykonos is just to wander around. It's not like those street signs are going to help you much. So, I don't know what anything is... I just know it was all really pretty. Pretty Mykonos!

Look, I found a red door!

Top right pic: sweet old Greek man and his pet pelican. It's all white though. An albino pelican, perhaps?

It was fun just to wander around the tiny cobbled streets. Everything there is delivered via wagons hitched up to little scooters. Nothing bigger will fit through the streets.
